Over the past two years, we've assembled a team of consultants who know how to craft a standout college admissions essay. Many from our team have professional experience, having worked as writers and editors for esteemed institutions such as the Harvard Political Review, W.W. Norton & Company, and The U.S. Department of State. While our consultants have varying backgrounds, many studied the humanities in college. They majored and minored in subjects such as Creative Writing, English, and Classics. We're excited for you to work with them.
